If a heart-to-heart is sorely needed, Mercury’s move into your sector of relating can help give shape and the right words to your feelings.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Time management and a fresh look at your routines could transform your days and help you do more, Leo. As fleet-footed Mercury glides into Capricorn, it’s worth considering how long you spend on key tasks and how often you’re distracted. Even so, the focus on enjoyment and leisure could find you chomping at the bit and keen to get out and do something more enjoyable.

Your sector of creativity and self-expression gets a further boost as Mercury moves in from today, encouraging you to express yourself more. Whether you run a small enterprise, are creative or enjoy various leisure activities, this can be a good time to get organised.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Your enthusiasm for an ambitious idea could be tempered by potential pitfalls. But don’t let these challenges intimidate you, as what feels insurmountable at first glance might be far more manageable with a bit of grit and determination. If you dwell too long on the “what-ifs,” you risk talking yourself out of progress. Instead, focus on the possibilities and take things step by step.

As restless Mercury enters your most reflective area, you may find yourself dwelling on issues that need closure. If you can do something about them, it might lead to a sense of liberation and relief. During the coming weeks you could benefit from drawing on visualisation skills to bring creative urges to life. And your dreams may also be rich with ideas, guidance and fresh perspectives.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

You may be doing more entertaining, and your involvement with various groups and projects could get busier as Mercury enters your social zone. And while this looks to be a time of enjoyment, you’ll also be busy with career plans and ambitions. Don’t let someone persuade you that something can’t be done, especially if you’ve already started. It’s time to prove them wrong.
